Waves crash on the shore as Troy asks Gabriella how long she's known about him and Sharpay, something she shrugs off as not being of nay consequences. She never said anything because she claims she didn't want to lose him.

'Because what you feel is not important, but what I feel is important. Regardless of how I do, it is okay as long I have you' said Gabriela

Troy doesn't want Gabriella depending on him, and repeatedly tries to warn her away. First when she wonders if they should sleep together and he shoots her down by saying he's got only eyes for Sharpay, and then he tells her that Gabriella is nothing worthless to him. He needs the 'heir' of the company Gabriella in order for his scheme to work.

Gabriella asks him if everything is a lie, she claims the doll incident wasn't planned. But Troy simply replies as

'It was always planned'.

'Why did you lie? The Troy Bolton that I've seen and the Troy Bolton that I know are so different from you who is standing in front of me right now, trying to act so bad. That's why I came to you like a crazy woman, throwing everything in the process. Did you know that?' asked Gabriella

Troy looks like he's feeling bad for upsetting Gabriella, Gabriella then throws her arms around him and begs for them to just run away and he together. Where he goes, she'll follow.

Troy has to pry her arms off of him as he looks at her coldly, practically clucking his tongue at how easy she was. By pretending to risk his life for her, he nabbed her too easily.

Gabriella has no choice but to leave. As she walks away, Troy looks ill at ease, and swallows down his feelings.

Meanwhile, Chairman Montez is feeling much better and is working with Jason to tie up loose ends relating to Sharpay, while she tucks her son in bed. He'd drawn a family picture, which includes Gabriella despite everything.

While on speakerphone with Chairman Montez, Jason asks one more time if he wants to think a little more. He interrupts him to ask about Gabriella's birthday tomorrow.

The phone stays on when Sharpay enters with a dangerous look on her face. Chairman Montez's heart is giving him trouble again, and he grapples with the pain as she hands over all the evidence of his fraud, which she kept a copy of just for a moment like this.

While, Jason listens on the other end, Chairman Montez looks heartbroken that Sharpay would bring this to him.

'In order to protect you, I sacrificed my whole life. Even the point of ruining the life of a man I loved with all my heart'

Chairman Montez is still in disbelief, until Sharpay fires back that he never trusted her for a moment either. She knows the woman he always had in his heart was Gabriella's mother, but it's all the same – she never loved him either, and always had Troy in her heart.

Another wave of pain hits him, and the pill bottle he reaches for falls out of his grasp. Sharpay holds it hostage as she breaks down, her cold façade fading as she begs him just give Keegan the same amount that he's giving Gabriella.

She wants nothing for herself, and means it when she asks for just this on favour. She realizes how dire the situation is when Chairman Montez falls over in his wheelchair, all while Jason listens.

While in the midst for dialling help Zeke arrives and takes the phone away. She resolutely takes it back, and when he does it again, she takes out her phone instead. He takes that too

'He's going to die anyway. Just think that he passed away a few months earlier' said Zeke

This was not part of Sharpay's plan, and she is disgusted at his actions before she tries to call for the maid, Zeke covers her mouth as he all but croons

'Didn't you ask me for help?'

She realises Zeke's plan and sinks helplessly to her knees, with no more thoughts of calling for help.

Jason's heard everything and sends Gabriella a text while she drives, and the reading of which almost causes an accident. It reads her father just passed away.

Gabriella finally makes it back to the road just as Troy leaves their beach spot, but she makes a U-Turn of decision at the last moment. They end up in the same tunnel together driving toward each other, but Gabriella swerves her car into his lane.

They recognize each other, yet neither of them tries to dodge the car. Gabriella smiles while dropping tears and Troy smiles as their collect headlight engulf them, and the sounds of cars crashing are heard.

Fade to white.

Ryan sits in a restaurant as the news reports on Chairman Montez's death earlier that day, along with Gabriella's car accident. Both her and Troy are reported to be in a critical condition.

Meanwhile Chad attends a memorial for his father, who's recently passed away. He ignores all requests for him to return home, especially with word that his brother is an even crueller mob boss than his father ever was.

11 Months Later….

Ryan walks through the streets as the protestors who egged Gabriella as passing out flyers in an attempt to find Gabriella. As for Ryan he shakes his head and sighs

'You can't take all that money when you die anyway'

It seems that she disappeared while receiving hospital treatment and no one has seen her ever since.

In the company building Sharpay and Zeke strut down the halls. Jason watches them warily as he flashbacks to the moment Zeke realized he'd been listening in as they'd let Chairman Montez die.

Despite Jason's attempt to hang up, Zeke had picked up the phone and addressed him directly. In a surprising twist he blackmails Jason against taking what evidence he has to the police, because he has evidence Jason's father is the once who orchestrated Gabriella's mother's fatal car accident.

It's not clear if the Chairman ordered the murder, but Zeke claims that it was all because Gabriella's mom threatened to take her away forever.

Sharpay is doing the business for the time being, and she has a friendly chat with a representative from a rival good outside, their private talk is much harsher.

The woman, Representative Jones, quickly puts Sharpay in her place by telling her that she's nothing more than a dog guarding an empty house. Until Gabriella returns, Representative Jones warns Sharpay to watch her back, since she's acting as a friend of Gabriella's late mother. Sharpay is surprised, but can't muster up a defense

Later, a nervous man with glasses gets sucked into some street gambling. He bets all his paycheck only to come up with nothing, but suddenly Troy makes an appearance to intervene and coolly prove that the gambler was cheating.

He gives the man his money back, explaining his father was a gambler and the games aren't made to win. Troy invites him to lunch.

However, the man grows increasingly uneasy as the conversation wears on and he realizes that Troy isn't a Good Samaritan, but a man that knows too much about him and his finances.

Troy is a hired man with an agenda to get glasses man to divulge company secrets in exchange for money to cure his problems. In the end of the exchange he drops his glas and doubles over in pain. Troy rushes to the bathroom and vomits in a bathroom stall.

Chad and Taylor are having to wait with a high school student in Troy's yard one, who claims that Troy scammed his father and caused him to attempt suicide. Chad tries to get Troy to deny when he arrives, but is shocked when he instead turns on the kid and asks

'Why are you complaining to me about how stupid and weak your father is?'

'Your father trusting someone like me is his own fault' said Troy

The kid raises his fist at him

'You're too weak come back when you're stronger to get revenge'.

The kid leaves in frustration.

'It was better when you flirted with girls. Flirting with girls, playing with them, and getting their money… I prefer that over this, Troy Bolton' said Chad

Troy retreats into his darkened room, but Chad follows to tell him it's like another person has been living in his body ever since the car accident. But he knows his best friend enough to realize that Troy must have been shocked to hear that a man almost died because of him.

'When I look at you these days, I think of a lifeless desert'. Chad said while crying

'If you don't want to live than hurry up and die but if it's all an act come back to your senses'

Troy just laid in bed with his back to Chad not even saying a word.

'You weren't this bad when Sharpay left you, after overcoming all those hardships, how can you be like this now?'

Chad cries at Troy's side, holding onto his friend even though Troy won't say a word to him.

Sharpay is unhappy to find her brother outside her house, especially since he came for money, but Sharpay ignores Ryan and goes in the house.

Sharpay asks the maid to have Gabriella's room cleaned out by tomorrow. She's going to make it into Keegan's playroom.

'But Gabriella is not dead'

'I don't care to me she is nowhere in the world' yelled Sharpay

Meanwhile Troy is in his dark room staring at Gabriella's missing poster and thinks back to her confession in the rain and her scolding at the beach.

Representative Jones was taking a massage Sharpay finds her in the midst of a facial and hands her a picture of her husband with a young girl on his arm but Representative Jones just shrugged it off.

Then, Sharpay hands her another picture of her husband… only she's in the picture to, having dinner with him.

Sharpay calmly dangles the woman's husband in front of her eyes, claiming that there hasn't been a single man who said no when she wanted him, Representative Jones' husband not excluded.

'I even seduced Chairman Montez, who is much more faithful than your husband' Sharpay sneers

'I gave birth to his son; I've become the director of the company. Seducing your husband would be easy to do, don't you think?'

Representative Jones doesn't have much choice but to give up and agree. As for her list of demands, Sharpay wants bidding rights to a duty-free store and, more importantly, an apology from Representative Jones.

Taylor was currently working at a café and Chad comes to visit her at work

Ryan was walking in Troy's neighbourhood but he suddenly asks where the bathroom is, who is Secretary Nielsen leads a woman up the precarious steps. She goes to find something she forgot and the other woman turns around.

And it's Gabriella.

She smiles brightly and draws on the walls with the neighbourhood children and starts writing a name

'Tory Bolton' on the wall but she says

'Troy Bolton'

The neighbourhood kids tease her saying that she can't spell

But at that time Troy passes her he hears his name and looks at the wall it says 'Tory Bolton' Gabriella tries again and spells

'Tyor Bolton' completely unaware that it's not 'Troy Bolton'

Troy's face is agape with shock as he recognizes her, he picks up a crayon on the ground to write his name correctly.

Gabriella smiles as she sees it, she looks at his face.

'You know me, don't you? You are the one, Troy Bolton' says Gabriella

She shows him the photo they took together in the Bahamas.

'I lost all my memories in a car accident. I had even learn to spell my own name'

But she knew his name from the woman taking care of her, and claims she didn't know who he was from the pictures. However, now that she sees him she remembers him.

'We were very much in love. Weren't we?

Gabriella gazes at him expectantly, a tear falls from her eye. Troy's eyes are red as he stares back at her, silent.
